Really, it is not Elop with his announcement (of which only hard-core fans as in this forum heard) that killed Symbian, Symbian killed Symbian with crappy release. Why it got out of UAT/QA stage and onto production??? Those people should have been fired. If iPhone5 will be slow as hell and hanging after 5hrs of usage even iPhone fanbois will get tired of Jobs' cheering. Nokia just lost its credibility as THE phone maker after releasing crap for quite a while
